LIFE IS A FARY-TALE. CANT COMPROMISE WITH YOUR PASSING, YET!

I was born and bred in the family that made the worship of God, a major part of their life. Although there was not a lot of physical evidences, to prove their faithful Service to God, but I thank God that through my parents, I got to know and understood that, THERE IS GOD, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND OF EARTH, AND THE CREATOR OF MANKIND. As I grew up, I joined my parents and my elder siblings, to do one thing or the other, in the church, and later joined the choir. I often would question myself, without anybody knowing what was troubling my heart; I would ask myself, WHY WE WERE GOING TO CHURCH, AND WORKING IN THE CHURCH, BUT YET, WE WERE DOING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT NON-CHURCH GOERS, WERE DOING! My father, was naturally a good man, with great MORAL ETHICS, DISCIPLINARAIN, HUMBLE, KNOWLEGIBLE, AND RESPECTED IN THE COMMUNITY. He was also a full-time school Teacher, and part-time preacher, yet, was lacking in the full Fruit of The Holy Spirit, BECAUSE HE WAS NOT BORN-AGAIN, AND THUS DID NOT POSSESS THE POWER TO OVERCOME SIN DAILY. Within my heart, I CRAVED for the ability NOT TO DO THOSE SINFUL THINGS I FOUND MYSELF DOING, INCLUDING LYING; BUT I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THAT POWER TO SIN NO MORE. I carried that hunger into the Secondary School where I resided in the Boarding House. One day, a Group of Scripture Union Members, visited the school during the usual Morning Assembly. They preached to all the students, both the ones who resided in the school dormitory like me, and those who attended the school, but living outside the school; teachers and the principal, were also in attendance. Their sermon included that, any girl who wore short dress or short skirt, or who had a boyfriend, would not go to Heaven, but Hell. That was the major point that I heard, and I determined to prepare for Heaven, by BRINGING DOWN THE LENGTH OF MY DRESSES/SKIRTS. After the Assembly, I gathered some of my many friends in the school, and advised them to do like me, so as to avoid going to Hell. Some of them took the advice, and we extended the length of our clothes, and warned our boyfriends to stop talking to us. I had none in the school, but wrote to one I had, and ended the non-sense. Few months after that, we all went to our different villages, because it was the end of the school term. Sadly, after the school holiday, we returned to the school with our skirts and dresses, re-adjusted back to the short length that we ever had! We looked at one another, as we saw ourselves, back to `sin`. UP till today, NONE OF US HAS SAID ANYTHING ABOUT OUR `BACKSLIDING`, TO EACH OTHER. The truth was, WE ALL WERE TRYING TO LIVE RIGHT BY OUR OWN POWER, BECAUSE WE WERE NOT SAVED FROM OUR LIFE OF SIN-NO SIN-FORGIVENESS AND THE WASHING AWAY OF SIN, THROUGH THE PRESCIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, THE LAMB OF GOD! Not until someone reaches that Stage of freedom from sin, THE POWER TO DAILY OVERCOME SIN, IS FAR AWAY FROM HIM, OR FROM HER. I completed my secondary education, went for employment in the city, had opportunity to come to London, got married, earned a diploma in a higher education, and later attended a part-time course with the University of London; BUT STILL NOT HAD MY QUESTION THAT EXISTED IN MY HEART WHEN I WAS GROWING UP; ANSWERED. That question was, WHY DO I GO TO CHURCH AND SERVE GOD, YET, STILL DO SOME OF THOSE BAD THINGS THAT THOSE WHO DON’T GO TO CHURCH, DO? Yes, I was still trying to NOT DO THOSE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WERE TOO TERRIBLE TO DO, LIKE DATING MARRIED MEN, AND THE LIKE. BUT I WAS A GREAT LIAR! Few months before that UNEXPECTED invitation to come to London knocked at my door, I used to KNEEL DOWN BY MY BED SIDE, EVERY NIGHT AND PRAYED BEFORE I SLEPT. BUT I DID NOT ASK GOD TO FORGIVE MY SINS, I ASKED MAINLY FOR HIM TO BLESS ME WITH MATERIAL BLESSINGS. In a way, I believe He Answered that prayer, for it was not long, somebody I knew briefly for a few months, and lost contact with for a few years, that person visited Lagos, and surprisingly, discovered that I was no more working in the company he knew I was, before he left for UK; but he luckily got information from his friends, and found me in my present company, just THREE DAYS BEFORE HE WAS DUE TO RETURN TO LONDON. That was when he was able to invite me for a few weeks’ visit, which I argued before I accepted the invitation. I was thinking of visiting Italy during my next annual leave from work. God Must Have Answered my prayer for material blessings, for within TEN MONTHS of my short visit to London, which was planned to last for three weeks before returning to my work in Lagos; within the TEN MONTHS, I met a man that I decided to marry and settle down with, instead of returning to Lagos. In a marriage, in a University, and having a little job to lay hands on, I THOUGH MY LIFE WAS COMPLETE, SUCCESSFUL, AND WAS HAPPY. But it was not very long before I realized the difference between `GAINING ALL THE WORLD, AND LOSING MY SOUL`, which the Bible Asks, WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN, IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT LOSE HIS SOUL`? So, my husband then, and I, GOT INTO A TANGIBLE STRESS AND MARITAL PROBLEM! I IT WAS THEN THAT I REMEMBERED GOD!!! I remembered that I should be attending a church, so, we started looking for a church to attend, and we TESTED A FEW, YET NONE OF THEM ANSWERED MY YOUTHFUL QUESTION OF `HOW I CAN ATTEND CHURCH AND BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHO DON’T`? The man told me about the Church that he had attended a few times before we married. He said the church HAS A SOUND BIBLICAL DOCTRINE, but that he couldn’t continue to go there, because they would be preaching AGAINST FORNICATION, AND EACH TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT, HE WAS NOT COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE HE WAS GUILTY OF IT. But he highly recommended that we go to the church, since he was then married. I asked where the church was located, and when he told me the location, I declined to go. That time, that area of London was seen as a RUN-DOWN BOROUGH. My direct reply to him was the popular adage that says, ‘CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT FROM NAZARETH’? We laughed, and ended the topic.  As my dislike for the church that we were attending for months, grew, he reminded me of the church he told me about, but I was not still interested. On his third time mentioning of that church, I told him that we could try it the following Sunday, and WE DID! PRAISE GOD THAT WE DID! Reaching the area where the church was/is, I whispered to him that, I predicted the area was a rundown area, and indeed, IT WAS THEN. We got to the church, I nearly refused to sit down, were it not an usher who beckoned to us to come in. I obeyed him, and he sat us down. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY REAL LIVING ON EARTH! As we sat down, I CLEARLY HEARED A VOICE SAYING TO ME, `THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR`. I looked around, nobody sat next to me on my right hand side, where the Voice came from. That was strange to me, but even SWEETER STRANGE THINGS, WERE ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO ME, FROM THEN ONWARD!! The Sunday School started, and the Sunday School teacher, with the interaction from the class, brought me a wonderful experience I never had, during any church setting. After the Sunday school, Devotional Service began, and I also heard what I had never heard before. The preacher was not just speaking his own words, but HE BACKED IT UP WITH THE BIBLE! I learned then how to open each reading passage, and proved the preacher right. Bible was not so much an open book for individual, from my church background, and in those years, until then. One of the statements from the preacher that Day was, `A SINNER IS LIKE A TROUBLED SEA, THERE IS NO PEACE WITH THE WICKED`. I immediately remembered that, I was not actually experiencing REAL PEACE, the past few months. So, when the preacher(which I cannot still remember who he was till today) added that, THE WICKED PERSON IS THE PERSON WHO IS COMMITTING SIN; BUT THAT, IF THE PERSON WOULD PRAY TO GOD, CONFESSING AND FORSAKING HIS SINS, AND BELIEVING IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS TO WASH HIS SINS AWAY, THAT SINNER CAN HAVE PEACE, WHEN HIS SINS ARE FORGIVEN HIM`; I IMMEDIATELY DETERMINE TO PUT TO USE, HIS RECOMMENDATION. Thank God, after the sermon, an invitation was given to anyone who wanted to go to the Alter and pray. I put away all the `shame` of going to the Alter, WENT THERE, KNELT DOWN, AND PRAYED, THIS TIME, I PRAYED FOR MY SIN-FORGIVENESS, SO THAT I COULD HAVE ABUNDANT PEACE. This time, it was not the type I prayed in the secondary school, not to wear short skirts again, SO THAT I WOULD NOT GO TO HELL. This time, IT WAS PRAYER FOR THE POWER FROM ON HIGH, TO ENABLE ME NOT TO COMMIT ANY MANNER OF SIN, EVER AGAIN! I did not pray through to the SALVATION of my soul, that Sunday. But as my ex-husband and I were returning home, I HAPPILY ANNOUNCED TO HIM AND SAID, `THAT IS MY CHURCH, AND I WILL NEVER GO TO ANY OTHER`. A few more attendances in the church, a few more shedding of tears for God to Forgive my sins, a few more effort of consecration; then, ONE GREAT DAY, ONE SUNDAY, GOD FORGAVE ALL MY SINS, AND WASHED ME WHITER THAN SNOW, SONNER!!!!! A NEW LIFE BEGAN, A DAILY LIFE OF CONTINUOUS MIRACLES THE FOLLOWING MONTHS; BUT THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL, WAS/IS THE MIRACLE THAT CHANGED ME INSIDE-OUT-MY APPEARANCE OR THE CLOTHES I BEGAN TO WEAR, MY LYING-TONGUE CHANGED TO A TONGUE WITHOUT A SINGLE LIE, SINCE THAT 1986, TILL 2025, AND COUNTING… TILL MY LAST BREATH, BY THE GRACE AND POWER OF THE ONE WHO DIED AND SHED HIS BLOOD, WHICH WASHED ALL MY SINS AWAY, AND CHANGED ME!!!!! AMEN!!!!

BELOW IS THE PART THAT CONCERNS YOU, BROTHER GODWIN OKUSANYA:

As I became devoted to the BIBLICAL DOCTRINE that God, In His Love For The Soul Of Man, I began too to draw closer to your family. God Had Used your Father, Rev V. Okusanya, TO BRING THE CHURCH TO UNITED KINGDOM, AND THE CHURCH MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD THEN. Your Father was Used by God To ESPECIALLY PREPARE ME FOR WHO I AM IN THE GOSPEL, TODAY. I CAN NEVER FORGET. I SAW THE PRACTICAL DISPLAY OF THE PURE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH YOUR FATHER, ATLEAST, AS FAR AS MY HUMAN EYES COULD OBSERVE. I TRULY NEEDED SUCH DISPLAY, BECAUSE I WAS TOO LONG IN  HUNGER, TO SERVE GOD THE RIGHT WAY, AND FOR HIS GLORY AND PLEASURE! God is a FAITHFUL God, and there is NO WAY THAT, HE WOULD SEE SUCH HUNGER AND THIRST IN ANYBODY, AND WOULD REFUSE TO SATISFY. SO, GOD SATISFIED MY LONG HUNGER AND THIRST! There is no adequate tongue to talk of my praises to Him here on earth. But I will wait until MY MORTAL TONGUE IS CHANGED TO CELESTIAL ONE; BEFORE I CAN SATISFACTORILY PRAISE HIM!

Bro Godwin, as I got AVANCED DAILY, in my RELATIONSHIP with THE THREE-IN-ONE-GOD, I also established my relationship with the Brethren in the church, the Brethren, whom I saw as `ANGELS` just at the confession of the SAME SALVATION THAT WAS ALSO IN ME. A few times, my husband then, had told a few people that, `AS FAR AS MY WIFE IS CONCERNED, EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH, IS AN ANGEL`. He was right, because I so LOVED THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE THAT HELPED ME TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, THAT, I BEGAN TO LOVE ANYONE WHO CONFESSED THAT HE OR SHE, IS IN THE SAME FAITH-THE FAITH THAT GAVE ME A GLORIOUS BEING, AND MORE GLORIOUS HOPE TO SEE HEAVEN AT LAST, LIVING WITH THE ONE WHO SAVED MY SOUL! Those `ANGELS`, included you and the entire of your father’s house then. I began Musical Training that was given free of charge, and your Father, was my first Music Teacher. You, Bro Godwin, took over, during the `Voice-Production` Training. That was when I started coming closer to you. I watched you grew up to become the church’s MAIN ORGANIST, SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER, MUSIC DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTOR, PIANIST, PREACHER-INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE CHURCH LIFE, MAKING YOU OVER-LOADED WITH UNIMAGINABLE TALENTS! WHY NOW, WHERE ARE THE WASTED TALENTS NOW!! But who is man to comment on what God Has Done, beautifully, to satisfy His Pleasure! Freely He Gave you to your extended family, freely He Gave you to your own immediate family, freely He Gave you to the church and to all who benefitted from your many talents; BUT FREELY TOO, IT HAS PLEASED GOD TO TAKE YOU AWAY, FOR THE VERY PURPOSE KNOWN TO HIM. When I got the information that you were in hospital, about two weeks after sighting you in the church, looking your  usual healthy self(I cant remember hearing or seeing you sick, ever), I was shocked when the person said that, `IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE FOR YOU TO LIVE`. JUST LIKE THAT, I SHOUTED! After that phone call, I promised myself to PRAY THAT MIRACLE TO KEEP YOU ALIVE, AND RETURN TO YOUR POST IN THE CHURCH. About three months into that prayer,  MENTIONING YOUR NAME AND THAT OF YOUR WIFE, AND I DID THAT DURING MY USUAL DAILY MORNING AND EVENING PRAYER-SESSIONS, yet, no good news. But later, each time I mentioned your name for healing(not even praying out, so nobody heard me, even if there was one with me), I began to have the experience/feeling that never came to me when praying for someone, or when even praying generally! I ENDURED THE PAIN AND CONTINUED PRAYING FOR YOU. That experience happened to me, about FIVE TIMES-FIVE DAYS, CONTINUALLY, UNTIL I COULD NO LONGER BEAR THE PAIN. So, I left your Case with God. About two weeks ago, when the information of your passing came to me, I then realized why God allowed me to go through that pain whilst praying for you-He had already Determined to Take you away, and did not want me to waste my prayers on that again! With all the benefits that I got from your talents, with all your SMILES, RESPECT TO PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE THAT YOU WERE TEACHER TO, OR `BOSS` TO, WITH YOUR HUMILITY AND FRIENDLINESS(I CANT REMEMBER SEEING YOU IN ANGER AND BAD/INSULTING WORDS), WITH YOUR EFFORT FOR THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO GROW, WITH AN ACTION ALWAYS FREE FROM HYPOCRICY-ATLEAST, NOT OVERWHELMINGLY OR AS AN HABIT; I THANK THE GIVER AND THE SHAPER OF YOUR LIFE. Whilst no talent on earth can give HEAVEN TO ANYBODY, WHILST NO GOOD BEHAVIOUR CAN PAVE A PERSON’S WAY FOR HEAVEN, I DID ADMIRE YOUR LIFE, AND DID RESPECT YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSIBLE WAY OF LIFE. These, I say of the Godwin that I knew AS HUMAN, AS I AM; ANY IN-BETWEENS, IS NOT MINE TO SAY HERE  OR TO JUDGE. BUT I PRAY GOD TO RECEIVE YOUR SOUL, SO THAT I COULD SEE YOU IN HEAVEN, ONE MORE TIME. Amen. NOT SURE I MISSED MY VERY FATHER, THE WAY I MISSED YOU. MIGHT BE BECAUSE HE WAS RIPE TO DEPART THIS WICKED WORLD-OVER EIGHTY YEARS, BUT YOU ARE JUST EARLY FIFTIES. VERY SAD!

Lastly, I use the child your little kindness, helped me to bring to this world, as A TRIBUTE TO YOU HERE. About TWO YEARS AFTER I WAS DELIVERED FROM MY SINFUL LIFE, God Blessed my marriage with pregnancy. About two months into the pregnancy, MISCARRIAGE, THREATHENED ME. The father was away for important course, for few days, and there I was alone, but with Jesus. I could have called one of the loving neighbors I had then, but the Spirit of God Led me into CALLING THE CHURCH-your father. Your father sent someone to collect me, and took me to Brethren who were living next to the church. Your father decided to keep me there, so the church could look after me until my ex-husband returned. Right there, I witnessed and experience THE REAL BROTHERLY LOVE, BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY. The first visit I had there, was from you and your father. You did not only come to PRAY for me, but brought me the needed CEREALS FOR BREAKFAST. One time whilst still there, you brought me some stuffs alone, ministering around me and CALLING ME, `AUNTIE`! That baby was SPARED DEATH, BY GOD THE DIVINE, AND SHE IS OVER THIRTY YEARS NOW. HOW I WISH GOD WOULD HAVE SPARED YOU THIS `UNTIMELY`(as human may think) DEATH, AT THIS TIME!

SAD, THE MORE, THAT I CANNOT EVEN ATTEND YOUR FUNERAL, NOR EVENING OF SONGS THAT IS TAKING PLACE LATER TONIGHT! BUT I BELIEVE YOU HAD ALREADY KNOWN THE REASONS THAT MANDU’S MOVEMENT, IS NO MORE AROUND PORTLAND THAT WE HAVE MET A FEW TIMES THERE. NO MORE AROUND NORWAY, WHICH WE HAVE MET THERE A FEW TIMES, TOO. NO MORE IN  ITALY SINGING, WHILST BRO GODWIN IS CONDUCTING THE CHOIR DURING CONCERT. NO MORE AROUND OUR LOCAL CHURCH, WHERE MANDU WOULD ATTEND ONE OFFICIAL MEETING OR THE OTHER, SOMETIMES, FOUR TIMES IN  A WEEK, OR FIVE, DURING TEACHERS’ SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE, WHEN BRO GODWIN SOMETIMES WOULD LEAD. MANDU, NO MORE AROUND CAMP-GROUND DURING OUR LOCAL CAMPMEETINGS, WHEN SHE MIGHT HAVE HAD THE PRIVILAGE TO SERVE BRO GODWIN, AS HE POPEED INTO THE CAMP OFFICE, WHERE MANDU USED TO HELP OUT SOMETIMES. FINALLY, MANDU IS NOT AVAILABLE AGAIN, IN EVEN HER MARITAL HOME OF THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS, WHERE BRO GODWIN HAD PAID THE FAMILY A FEW VISITS, OR FOR ONE THING OR THE OTHER. With all the areas that connected me with you, a few mentioned above, HOW WOULD I NOT KNOW YOU A BIT BETTER, ALTHOUGH NOTHING NEAR AS SOME OTHER BRETHREN IN THE CHURCH, OR YOUR RELATIVES CLOSER TO YOU, KNEW YOU! Yes, I did know you Bro, and I am VERY VERY SAD TO MISS YOU, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IN RECENT YEARS BEFORE YOUR PASSING. iF I WERE TOLD TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL, LIKE SPEND MONEY, TO SAVE YOUR LIFE, I WOULD HAVE PRAYED GOD FOR THE PROVISION.

 I AM PRAYING FOR THE TWO FAMILIES YOU HAVE LEFT BEHIND-YOUR EXTENDED AND IMMEDIATE FAMILIES. I PRAY THAT, GOD SHOULD HELP ME TO PRAY AS MUCH AND AS LONG AS HE WANTS ME TO, ABOVE IT ALL, I PRAY HIM TO ANSWER MY PRAYERS FOR THEM, ALL MY PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH I ONCE CALLED EVERYONE, `ANGEL`, BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR THE FAITH. I PRAY THAT GOD SHOULD ANSWER ALL MY PERSONAL PRAYERS FOR MYSELF, AND FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. THESE AND MORE, I ASK HIM IN THE POWERFUL NAME OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

GOODBYE, MY MUSIC TEACHER! Greetings to Saints, if you see them. SO TALENTED THAT YOU BACKED UP THE SONG THAT HAD NO MUSICAL NOTES, AND MADE THE WHOLE CHURCH APPLAUD THE PRESENTATION I MADE DURING A MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION-UNUSUAL APPLAUSE, THAT WAS, BECAUSE ONLY MY VOICE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE SONG SO SWEET. I got the song on a TAPE, during one of my trips to my State. They gave it to me, I played it when I returned to London, and it was a very stylish song. That year, I was asked to present something with interested women in the church. After the little presentation that God Helped us to bring up, I decided to sing that a solo with that song, but was afraid to ask you if you could ACCOMPANY the song with Instrument-organ. `BRING OUT THE TUNE, LET ME SEE IF I CAN`, you said. THE REST WAS HISTORY! GODWIN, I AM BROKEN EVEN AS I AM WRITING. BUT THERE IS A GREAT COMFORTER, AND I AM SENDING HIM TO YOUR FAMILY.

 

 

 

TAKE-OVER. HIM FB SERVICE, 28/1/25. 

HIM SERVICE FOR 28/01/25.

I CAME ACROSS THE PICTURE BELOW, YESTERDAY, AND IT GAVE ME CONCERN.

I took my mind to the evil bondage that Satan can put people in, once they give him the permission to do so. I had the free time to watch that sad, but moment of celebration, when God spared some lives during the EVIL REIGN OF HITLER, OVER EIGHTY YEARS AGO! During that Remembrance Day yesterday, I heard from the mouth of some of those who were Blessed to escape the torture and death of so many human beings at a particular time, ever recorded. The Survivors who were able to attend the CEREMONY held in Auschwitz, yesterday, recalled the horrendous experience they, and all that were taken to Auschwitz, went through before they were killed. From time to time, and from generation to generation, there will always arise, an individual, a family, a community, a country or a Body, who would LEND THEIR HEART AND BODY, TO SATAN TO USE TO WORK HIS WOE ON EARTH. May you not be one, or among any of these SATAN’S INSTRUMENT AGAINST SOMEONE, OR AGAINST THE WORLD’S PEACE, UNLESS FOR A REASON, AS GOD MAY DESIRE IT TO BE-FOR HIS GLORY, OR FOR ANY REASON, KNOWN TO HIM.

Before someone is used by Satan to cause havoc on earth, the person would first of all, THINK about the evil to do. The Spirit of God, So Faithful, Would Speak Gently through the person’s CONSCIENCE, AND WARN/ REBUKES HIM OR HER NOT TO CARRY OUT SUCH PLAN. If the person STOPS there, he or she has defeated Satan, for Satan CANNOT FORCE the person into doing what is evil. But if the person continues to think on that evil, next step could be to PUT THE THOUGHT INTO ACTION! Still, God’s Spirit would Go Back in Love, to the person and CONDEMNS the person, Begging the person to REPENT, AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS. If the person genuinely REPENTS, he or she Can Be Forgiven. But if the person repents NOT, the tendency is that, he or she would give out his or her heart again to Satan, to put in it, WORSE EVIL THOUGHTS, THAN BEFORE. Yet, God Could Begin the same Process of STOPPING HIM, AND REAPEARING TO CONDEMN HIS THOUGHTS AFTER PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE. In His Attempt to Cause the person to REPENT AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS, GOD CAN SEND A LIGHT PUNISHMENT TO THE PERSON. But Satan can play the person trick, and convince him or her that, THAT IS NOT THE PUNISHMENT FOR THE EVIL HE OR SHE HAS COMMITTED. Satan can even bring the person, some `GOOD` things to enjoy, despite the evil the person has committed. Satan can do this because he wants the person to FEEL FINE, TO COMMIT MORE EVILS. Yet, God Would keep Speaking in a Soft Voice, Begging the person to RESIST evil, lest WORSE THING HAPPENS TO THE PERSON. Often, once the person has gone this far in IGNORING GOD’S PLEA, he or she MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO COME OUT EASILY, FROM PURSUING HIS EVIL DESIRE. Therefore, at a certain stage, GOD MAY DECIDE TO STEP INTO THE PERSON’S LIFE, AND `TAKES OVER`, BY FORCE! WHEN GOD DOES THAT `TAKE OVER`, THE END OF SUCH PERSON IS OFTEN, DESTRUCTION! Below are the examples:

THE JEWS, whom the Celebration of yesterday, let us know that, ONE MILLION OF THEM WERE KILLED BY THE NAZIS, UNDER THE RULE OF HITLER; DIED BY CRUCIFIX. Jesus Was Sent from Heaven to them, EXPRESSLY FOR THEM ONLY. Before then, God, through their EARTHLY LEADER, MOSES, Gave them The Ten Commandments. God Gave them these Ten Commandments through Moses. They were to Learn These Commandments, Practised them, themselves, and then TEACH OTHER NATIONS OF THE WORLD. Then God Sent them Prophets who prophesied that, Jesus, Their Messiah, would come to them here on earth, and REVEALED GOD THE FATHER TO THEM, THROUGH HIS TEACHINGS. God Fulfilled that Promise, and Jesus Came. He Taught them what they ought to know, He SHOWED THEM THE EXAMPLE BY THE WAY HE HIMSELF LIVED. He Helped them receive their lost sight- Healed them of all manner of diseases, and Raised their dead, back to life for them. Crowds, common people, began to follow Jesus, but the actual TEACHERS of Moses’s Law, REJECTED THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS. Next, JEALOSY came to these leader’s hearts. Next, HATRED. Next, ANGER. And finally, GOD TOOK OVER` THEIR HEARTS. God Took The Opportunity to Help Fulfilled The Mission of Jesus on earth, which was TO DIE FOR SINNERS. So, The Jews ENDED UP KILLING THE INNOCENT SON OF GOD, WHO CAME TO SAVE THEM FROM ETERNAL DEATH. MOST OF THE JEWS ARE IN HELL FIRE NOW, WHILST SOME OF THOSE REMAINING ON EARTH, ARE STILL RECEIVING THE PUNISHMENT FOR KILLING THEIR MESSIAH(BECAUSE IF THEY WERE THERE WHEN JESUS WAS STANDING BEFORE PONTIUS PILATE FOR DEATH TRIAL ON EARTH, THEY WOULD HAVE CRIED WITH THE CROWD THAT CRIED TO THE JUDGE, `CRUCIFY HIM, CRUCIFY HIM`). But there is still HOPE, for any of the living Jews who would NOW REPENT OF THE EVIL THAT THEIR PREVIOUS GENERATION DID, AND WOULD RECEIVE JESUS INTO THEIR HEART NOW, TO SERVE HIM AS HE WANTS THEM TO.

SECOND EXAMPLE: Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, held the children of Israel in CAPTIVITY for vey many years. We believe during this time, God Must Have Spoken to his conscience that, THE ACTION TO ENSLAVE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WITH TORTURE, WAS WRONG AND SINFUL. But Pharaoh refused to SET THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, FREE, BECAUSE HE WAS PROFITTING FROM HIS EVIL ACT. The children of Israel too, did not REMEMBER THE GOD OF THEIR FORE-FATHERS, JEHOVAHM, AND SO DID NOT CALL ON HIM TO DELIVER THEM. But when they started CALLING ON GOD FOR HELP, GOD SENT THEM MOSES, TO DELIVER THEM. Moses had fled Egypt, to Median, got married and settled there; tending his Father-In-Law’s Sheep. One day, God Called him from a Burning Bush that was burning but the leaves did not burn. Moses, who had taken the flock to eat, then turned around to see such miracle of the forest burning with fire, but nothing within it got burnt. As Moses drew near, God Called him, and Gave him THE COMMISSION, to go back to Egypt, and TELL PHARAOH THAT, `THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS, HAD SENT MOSES TO TELL PHARAOH, TO SET THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, FREE FROM THEIR BONDAGE`. Moses, just as many people would do, `argued` with God that, PHARAOH, WOULD NOT LISTEN NOR BELIEVE HIM. Moses said to God that, even the children of Israel, would not believe that, HE WAS SENT BY GOD OF THEIR FATHERS, TO THEM`. God, Who Understands human problems and fears, GAVE MOSES SIGNS TO DEMONSTRATE BEFORE PHAROAH, AND BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAL-SURE SIGNS THAT COULD HAVE MADE EACH PARTY BELIEVE THAT THE TRUE GOD IN HEAVEN, WAS THE ONE WHO SENT MOSES. The children of Israel believed Moses, but pharaoh, DID NOT. God Told Moses to show him more SIGNS, BUT THIS TIME, IN THE FORM OF PUNISHMENT. Yet, pharaoh REFUSED TO SET THEM FREE. Each time that Moses went into the king’s palace to tell him to set the people free, Moses would let him know that, if he would refuse still, that ONE PUNISHMENT OR THE OTHER, WOULD FALL ON PHAROAH AND EGYPT, AUTOMATICALLY. True as God Spoke to pharaoh through Moses, such punishment would befall Egypt, when pharaoh would refuse to set the children of Israel, free. When the punishment would come, pharaoh would send for Moses to beg God to Stop the judgement. Pharaoh would promise Moses that, if the punishment would be Stopped, that HE WOULD LET THE PEOPLE GO. But once the punishment was Stopped, PHAROAH WOULD HARDEN HIS HEART AGAIN, AND WOULD NOT LET THE PEOPLE GO. At a certain STAGE, GOD TOOK OVER` pharaoh’s heart! The Bible Says that, `GOD HARDENED PHARAOH’S HEART`, SO THAT, PHARAOH WOULD CONTINUE TO HARDEN HIS HEART, AND STILL REFUSED TO LET THEM GO.  God did that so that He Could Use the opportunity to SHOW PHARAOH, THE EGYPTIANS, AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, HIS MIGHTY POWER!!! God Punished Egypt with THIRST, AS TURNED ALL THEIR RIVER, AND THEIR SOURCES OF WATER, INTO BLOOD. FOR DAYS, NO WATER. PEOPLE DIED, EXCEPT THE AREA WHERE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LIVED. God Sent them FROGS, LIES, GREAT DARKNESS, WHEN THEY SAW NOTHING MURINE DEATHS-ANIMAL DYING, CROPS BEING EATEN UP BY INSECTS GOD SENT THEM, TEN LIFE-DESTRPYING PLAGUES-TO THE EGYPTIANS AND THE KING, SUFFERED. AT the NINTH PLAGUE, WHICH WAS THE KILLING OF ALL FIRST BORN SONS IN EGYPT, INCLUDING THE ONLY HEIR TO THE THRONE THAT PHARAOH HAD; PHARAOH REPENTED!  HE DECIDED TO SET THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FREE. But because God Had `TAKEN OVER` HIS HEART, PHAROAH SOON DECIDED TO PURSUE AFTER THEM, IN ORDER TO BRING THEM BACK AGAIN INTO SLAVERY. BUT THE END WAS EVEN MORE DISASTROUS THAN THE PAST PUNISHMENTS. PHARAOH AND ALL HIS GREAT ARMY, DROWN IN THE RED SEA! THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD THE SEA DIVIDED UP, CREATING A DRY PATH FOR THEM TO CROSS OVER, INTO THE LAND THAT GOD PROMISED TO THEIR FORE-FATHER, ABRAHAM!

In our Days now, I can name people that I knew/know, WHO HAD/HAVE INSISTED IN THEIR EVIL PURSUIT FOR TOO LONG THAT, GOD `TOOK OVER` their hearts, and they went through severe suffering, until death. I pray your DESIRE to continue in any FIGHT, which is SINFUL before God-pursuit, to gain evil goal, I pray such FIGHT, HAS NOT PASSED THE STAGE WHERE GOD HAS ALREADY, OR SOON WILL, `TAKE OVER` YOUR HEART;  FOR IT MAY NOT END YOU WELL. If He has Sent you a `little` punishment, and you are going through it now, just thank Him, because He is TRYING TO STOP YOU FROM REACHING THE STAGE WHEN HE MAY DECIDE TO `TAKE OVER`, YOUR HEART, FOR WORSE EVIL. THAT STAGE MAY NOT END YOU WELL.  STOP CAN STOP ANY EVIL PURSUIT, RIGHT HERE, REPENT, ASK HIM FOR FORGIVENESS, AND PROMISE NOT TO GO BACK TO SUCH EVIL GOAL, or any new one. He Would not only Forgive you, but Could Take Away the problem you may be going through now; or, He Could Give you the Grace to bear it EASILY, until the very right time for you to be free of it. On the other hand, if God Has Allowed Satan to bring you any inconvenience into your life, ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG-NO SIN AGAINST GOD; ask God to Help you Take Away the problem. He must have Got a GOOD reason to Allow the problem to come into your life. IT COULD BE TO PROVE HIS POWER TO THE WORLD. IT COULD BE TO HELP STRENGTHEN YOUR TRUST IN HIM, AFTER HE WORLD HAVE BROUGHT YOU THROUGH IT, VICTORIOUSLY, WITH GREAT GAIN. IT COULD BE FOR ONE GOOD THING OR THE OTHER, TO YOU. JUST CALL ON HIM, LIKE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, IN THE LAND OF CAPTIVITY. HE WILL SEND YOU, `MOSES`, AND DELIVERS YOU.

 

 

SECOND HIM SERVICE THIS WEEK-01/11/24

THE BEST STATEMENT THAT A THOUGHTLESS AND DESPERATE OFFENDER WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE MOUTH OF A JUDGE, BETWEEN HIM OR BETWEEN HER AND THE PERSON THAT HE OR SHE HAS OFFENDED, WOULD BE, `YOU ARE FORGIVEN`. BUT THE MOST ANNOYING ADVICE THAT THE DETERMINED OFFENDER WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO, FROM A SYMPATHETIC FRIEND OR NEUTRAL PERSON, WOULD HAVE BEEN, `STOP FIGHTING THIS PERSON YOU CALL YOUR ENEMY, BECAUSE HE OR SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR ARROW`. HOW DANGEROUS AND RISKY, IS A HEART THAT HATES AN INNOCENT SOMEBODY, WHOSE BATTLE, IS FOUGHT FOR HIM OR FOR HER, FROM ABOVE! FRANKLY, IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO HATE(ESPECIALLY IF THE CAUSE OR CAUSES FOR THE HATRED, IS RIGHT AND DESERVING). IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO ENVY, JELOUSE, BE GREEDY, BE PROUD, CHEAT,AND COMPETE TO WIN(ESPECIALLY, IF THE HEART OF THE PERSON IS NOT RE-GENERATED THROUGH NEW BIRTH, BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS), BUT AN INDIVIDUAL CAN GO BEYOND THE BOUNDARY, WHEN IN ANY OF THE SINS ABOVE, OR WHEN CHASING FOR THE ABOVE. INDIVIDUAL CAN GO BEYOND THE LEVEL THAT CAN BE ACCEPTABLE BY ANY AVERAGE HUMAN BEING WATCHING THE ENERGY USED IN PURSUING THESE DEADLY SINS. IF ANOTHER HUMAN HEART CAN BE SICKENING WHEN WATCHING SUCH EVIL COMMITTED CONTINUOUSLY, AND FOR AN UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD OF TIME, HOW MUCH MORE, WOULD THE HEART OF GOD BE GRIEVED AND MADE SICK, WHEN HE BEHOLDS SUCH ENERGY EXPENSED ON SUCH SINFUL ACTS!! EVEN BEFORE THE PERSON THOUGHT IN HIS OR IN HER HEART, OF COMMITTING ANY OF THESE SINS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD HAVE WARNED THE PERSON NOT TO EVEN CONSIDER IT, BUT TO RATHER `EXERCISE HIS OR HER CONSCIENCE TO BE FREE OF OFFENCE, TOWARDS GOD AND TOWARDS MAN`. IF SUCH WARNING STRIKES THE CONSCIENCE OF A BIBLE CHRISTIAN, HE OR SHE WOULD PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER THE HEART, AND BEG GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, IMMEDIATELY. SUCH THOUGHT THEN WOULD FLEE FROM THE CHRISTIAN, AND HE OR SHE WOULD HAVE NO CONDEMNATION IN THE HEART, BECAUSE IT IS NO SIN TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SIN IN THE HEART.  IT CAN ONLY BECOME SIN, IF THE BAD THOUGHT IS ALLOWED TO LINGER AROUND THE HEART. THE RESULT COULD BE TO BEGIN TO URSE THAT THOUGHT, AND FINALLY TAKE ACTION, ACCORDING TO THE PRESENCE OF SUCH BAD THOUGHT. EVEN AFTER THE ACTION IS TAKEN, THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD SPEAK AGAIN TO THE PERSON, REPROVING THE PERSON, REQUESTING THE PERSON TO REPENT AND TO TURN AWAY FROM SUCH BAD THING/SIN. MOST SINNERS WOULD NOT LISTEN, BUT WOULD GO ON, DESPITE CONTINUOUS PLEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. SOMETIMES, THE LOVING FATHER IN HEAVEN, CAN ALLOW THE PERSISTENT SINNER TO SUFFER SOME PLEASANT THINGS, WHILST IN THE PURSUIT OF HIS OR HER WICKED WAY. GOD DOES THIS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES THAT THE PERSON IS ACCUMULATING FOR HIS OR FOR HER FUTURE. WITH THE LIGHT PUNISHMENT THAT GOD MAY SEND TO CORRECT THE SINNER WITH, GOD EXPECTS THE PERSON TO STOP THE EVIL PURSUITS, SITS DOWN AND CONSIDER THE LITTLE PUNISHMENT THAT HE OR SHE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED; AND REPENT, SO AS TO AVOID ACCUMULATING MORE, FOR WORSE FUTURE. THE SINNER CAN BE ADAMANT, AND MAY EVEN `SWEAR` NEVER TO STOP, UNTIL HE OR SHE GETS THAT WHICH HE PURSUES FOR. THEREFORE, THE SINNER CAN GO ON THE PURSUITS INDEFINATELY-MONTHS, OR EVEN DECACDES OF YEARS! AT A CERTAIN TIME, THE SPIRIT OF GOD COULD TAKE HIS FLIGHT, AND PLEADS NOLONGER WITH THAT WILFUL AND DETERMINED SINNER. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT, `MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN`. AT THAT STAGE, THE SINNER MAY NOT EVEN SUFFER ANY LOSS OR BE PUNISHED, LIGHTLY IN ANY FORM AGAIN-AS THE PUNISHMENT FOR HIS EVIL PURSUIT. THAT IS A DANGEROUS POSITION FOR THAT SINNER, BECAUSE HE OR SHE WOULD FEEL THAT, WHAT HE OR SHE IS DOING IS RIGHT. HE OR SHE THEN MAY BEGIN TO ENJOY THE EVIL PURSUIT, UNTIL HE OR SHE BECOMES A SLAVE TO IT, UNABLE TO THINK RIGHT AND TAKE THE RIGHT ACTION, YET UNKNOWN TO HIM THAT HE OR SHE IS BUILDING UP TOUBLES, DAILY, FOR THE FUTURE! GOD ONCE TOLD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, HIS BELOVED NATION, THAT, HE WOULD LEAVE THEM TO CONTINUE IN THEIR SINS, AND THAT, HE WOULD MOCK AT THEM WHEN THEIR CALAMITY(TROUBLE) WOULD COME TO THEM. THE LOVING GOD EXPECTED THEM TO CALL ON HIM AT SUCH TIME, AND RECEIVED HELP. HE PROMISED TO FORGIVE THEM, AND TO DELIVER THEM, ONLY IF THEY WOULD REPENT AND RETURNED TO HIM. BUT A FEW OTHER TIMES, GOD PROMISED NOT TO EVEN HEAR THEM WHEN THEY WOULD CRY TO HIM FOR DELIVERANCE, BECAUSE, HE SAID THAT, WHEN HE HAD STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND TO DELIVER THEM, THEY DID NOT REGARD THE HAND, AND WHEN HE HAD CALLED THEM, THEY DID NOT LISTEN. GOD’S PROMISED ACTION, NOT TO HELP THEM, DURING THOSE TIMES OF THEIR TROUBLE, CAME AFTER SERIES OF WARNINGS AND PLEADINGS WITH THEM, BUT THEY WERE ADAMANT IN THEIR SINS. IT MEANS THEREFORE THAT, THERE IS A BOUNDARY FOR TOLERABCE, FOREBEARANCE, AND PATIANT FOR EVIL WORK. IF GOD THEN CAN WITHDRW, ATLEAST FOR A WHILE, AND ALLOWS A SINNER, WHOM HE MIGHT BE FADE  UP WARNING AND PLEADING WITH, HOW MUCH MORE, A MORTAL MAN/WOMAN, WHO ONLY CAN DEPEND ON GOD FOR GRACE TO HOLD ON HANDS WITH THE WICKED-HER OR HIS ENEMY, WHOM HE HASN’T EVEN WRONGED, BUT SURFFERS UNSPEAKABLE FROM THE ENEMY! IF GOD DOES NOT GIVE THE GRACE, IT CAN NEVER BE DONE AS THE ENEMY MAY EXPECT, EVEN AFTER `REPENTANCE`. IMAGINE AN ENEMY WHOM YOU ARE SURE YOU HAVE DONE NO WRONG, ORDER THAN DOING THE WORK OF GOD WITHOUT PARTIALITY NOR FEARING MAN BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ONLY; IMAGINE SUCH AN ENEMY, PURSUING YOU LIKE A RAT, TO KILL, AND FOR MANY YEARS! WHEN HE OR SHE MAY FEEL THAT HE OR SHE WOULD NOT SUCCEED, THEN HE OR SHE, DECIDES TO FAKE REPENTANCE, AND YOU NOT KNOWING THE HEART, FORGIVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND BEGIN TO THINK OF RESUMING THE PAST GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PERSON. BUT SUDDENLY AGAIN, YOU HEAR THE ENEMY PROMISED THAT, HE OR SHE MUST FIGHT ON. YOUR HEART GRIEVES, FOR YOU THOUGHT HE OR SHE WAS FREE FROM GOD’S PLAN TO PUNISH A LOT. AGAIN, AFTER A WHILE, THE SAME PERSON FAKES REPENTANCE AGAIN, AND YOU NOT KNOWING THE HEART, FORGIVE AGAIN. IT COULD GO ON AND OFF LIKE THAT FOR A FEW MORE TIMES, AND THE PERSON IS STILL ON THE SAME EVIL/SIN. THEN ONE FINAL SAD DAY, YOU HEAR THE PERSON SWEAR THAT, HE OR SHE WILL NEVER STOP PURSUING YOUR LIFE, UNTIL HE OR SHE TAKES IT! THE WORST COULD BE THAT, THIS VERY ENEMY/ENEMIES, ARE COMMITTING ALL OTHER SORTS OF SINS, INCLUDING ABOMINATIONS OF ALL SORTS!!!! YOU AS A HUMAN BEING, IF THE PERSON `FAKES` REPENTANCE AGAIN, AFTER HIS OR HER FORMER DETERMINED HIGH TASTE VOW TO KILL YOU, WOULD IT BE THE RIGHT TIME TO EMBRACE HIM OR HER, AND BRING HIM OR HER INTO YOUR CLOSET. TO RESUME THE FORMER TRUSTED RELATIONSHIP WITH? MY ADVICE IS, DO NOT DO SO. THE BIBLE ADMONISHES EVERYONE TO BE `AS WISE AS A SERPENT, AND AS HARMLESS AS A DOVE`. EVEN IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO WALK AMONG THE `WOLVES`, WISELY. FORGIVE THE ENEMIES, ESPECIALLY THEY REPENT- WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE, `NEW` PERSONS, AND HAVE REPENTED; BUT DON’T BE IN A HASTE TO TRUST THEM ANYMORE, OTHERWISE, YOU MAY BE CLEARING THE PATH FOR THEIR EASY WALK TO KILL YOU-THE PATH THEY COULDN’T CLAY TO BE ABLE TO KILL YOU WHEN THEY WERE PURSUING YOUR LIFE. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT, HUMAN BEING CAN TERMINATE YOUR LIFE, WHEN GOD HAS NOT FINISHED WITH YOUR LIFE ON EARTH YET, BUT DON’T `TEMPT` GOD, BY INVITING THEM TO KILL YOU, OR ATTEMPT TO KILL YOU. PRAY FOR THEM, ESPECIALLY TO CHANGE FROM THEIR EVIL PURSUITS, AND PREPARE FOR ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. IF AT ALL SUCH ADAMANT AND DETERMINED ENEMIES, AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE, CAN GENUINELY CHANGE, LET THEM GO TO GOD FIRST, AND HAVE THE CONFIRMATION THAT THEY HAVE GENUINELY CHANGED. ONCE GOD CAN TESTIFY THAT THEY HAVE GENUINELY CHANGED, HE ALONE WOULD BE THE ONE, ABLE TO CONVINCE YOUR HEART THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY CHANGED; NOT THE TYPE OF PREVIOUSLY PROFESSED CHANGES THAT THEY HAD DECLARED TO YOU MANY TIMES. THIS TIME, THE CHANGE WOULD MEAN THAT, EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KILL YOU, A KNIFE IN THE HAND TO STAB YOU EASILY; BUT YET REFUSE TO DO SO, AND ACTUALLY HATED THEMSELVES, FOR EVER DESIRING TO KILL YOU, BEFORE, IN THE FIRST PLACE! THAT IS TRUE CHANGE. SAME CAN ALSO OCCUR, WHEN ANYONE  CHANGES FROM ANY ABOMINABLE ACT HE OR SHE, MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKING-THEY BEGIN TO HATE THE ACT, AND BE SORROWFUL THAT THEY EVER DESIRED SUCH. THAT IS CHANGE, AND GOD CAN FORGIVE, IF THEY ASK HIM FOR FORGIVENESS. GOD THEN COULD SPEAK TO HEARTS TO BELIEVE THAT, THEY HAVE GENUINELY CHANGED! SAME ADVICE THAT I HAVE GIVEN HERE ABOVE, IS FOR ME TOO-MY ACTIONS TOWARDS ALL THOSE WHO HATE ME, AND HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DESCRIPTION I MADE EARLIER HERE. THEY HAVE TO GO TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS FIRST, AND WHEN YOU ARE SURE HE HAS FORGIVEN YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE GENUINELY REPENTED AND FORSAKE YOUR EVIL WAY; THEN, YOU CAN EXPECT THAT I HAVE ALSO FORGIVEN YOU, AND MAY BE READY TO RESUME THE PREVIOUS TRUSTED RELATIONSHIP OF `BROTHERLY/SISTERLY LOVE THAT WE ONCE HAD. SURE GOD WOULD SPEAK TO ME THAT I AM THEN SAFE WITH YOUR CLOSE COMPANY. BUT FOR NOW, JUST BELIEVE THAT I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU, ESPECIALLY IF I SEE SIGNS, OR MOSTLY, HEAR VERBALLY FROM YOU; BUT DON’T EXPECT ME TO TRUST YOU AGAIN, NOR BRING YOU INTO MY CLOSET RELATIONSHIP. GOD ONLY CAN CONVINCE ME TO DO SO, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT, YOU HAVE FIRST OF ALL GONE TO HIM, AND OBTAIN THE FORGIVENESS.

 HOW FRUSTRATED WAS MY SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST, BEFORE HE WAS FORCED TO ABANDON HIS VERY CITY THAT WAS HIS BIRTH CITY; ALL BECAUSE OF SIN OF UNBELIEF, IN THE HEART OF MANY!!!!

SPECIAL BIBLE QUIZ FOR 28/10/24.

FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT, WHEN SOMEONE IS SAD AND HEART-BROKEN, BUT OBEYS GOD, CARRYING OUT THE TASK THAT GOD WANTS THE PERSON TO DO RIGHT THEN; MY EXPERINCE IS THAT, THE RESULT OF SUCH OBEDIENCE IS OFTEN BOUNTEOUS, FROM THE GOD THAT HE OR SHE OBEYS! RIGHT NOW, I AM THAT PERSON TOO, WITH HEARTBREAK, BUT OBEYING GOD RIGHT NOW. SO, I’M EXPECTING MY BOUNTEOUS BLESSING, FOR THIS OBEDIENCE.

I HAVE TO BRING OUT THIS MESSAGE, JUST AS I AM STRUGGLING TO DO SO, BECAUSE I DON’T FEEL QUALIFIED TO DO SO, ESPECIALLY AS I AM NOT SOUND IN MY SITUATION RIGHT NOW.

TO BEGIN WITH, I DO NOT FULLY SUPPORT THE POST BELOW, FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE TOO, BUT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT, A `SOWER OF SEED HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOWING THE SEED`. PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD IS A NECESITY, JUST AS PAUL THE APOSTLE SAID. EVEN WHEN THE FRUIT OF THE LABOUR IS FAR AWAY FROM SIGHT, JUST SOW THE GOOD SEED OF THE GOSPEL, IF GOD CALLS YOU TO DO SO. OFTEN, IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, I SOMETIMES GET VERY DISCOURAGED AFTER A SERVICE AT HIM, BECAUSE THE NEXT MOMENT, THE SOME CHARACTERS DISPLAYED BY PEOPLE YOU THINK WOULD BE THE PARTAKERS OF THE GOODNESS OF THE SERVICE, TEND TO BE FAR OPPOSITE THAT EXPECTATION. I PAUSE HERE TO THANK GOD FOR THE GRACE OF CONTINUITY, AND FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO BRING ME COURAGEONE WAY OR THE OTHER, AND FROM TIME TO TIME. GOD BLESS YOU SPIRITUALLY, AND PHYSICALLY TOO.  THANKS LOVE.  MAY HE FEED ME WITH SUFFICIENT GRACE TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT HE EXPECTS OF ME, JOYFULLY TO THE END. AMEN. IT SHOULD BE TRUE THAT, WISEMEN/WOMEN, SHOULD SAY SOMETHING NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE NOISE OF FOOLS, OR EVEN TO STOP THE USELESS NOISE. BUT IT IS NOT THAT EASY, SOMETIMES  IT CAN SEEMINGLY WORSEN THE SITUATION, UNTIL GOD MAKES A STOP TO THE EVIL THAT MAY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED.THEREFORE, IT IS REASONABLE FOR EVEN THE WISEMEN OR THE WISEWOMEN, TO MAKE SURE FIRST THAT, THEIR VOICE IS HEARD, ONLY IF THEY ARE TRULY WORTHY TO SPEAK, AND IF THEY FEEL THEY MUST SPEAK, THE TIMING RIGHT TOO. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A CHRISTIAN TO MAKE SURE THAT, HE OR SHE IS SENT TO CARRY OUT A TASK, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THAT TASK MAY BE; SO THAT, WHATSOEVER THE CONSEQUENCE OF OBEYING FOR THAT TASK, HE OR SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO BEAR, OR EVEN ENJOY. IF THE RESULT IS BAD, HE OR SHE CAN TAKE IT BACK TO GOD IN PRAYER, AND EXPECT GOD TO FIGHT FOR HIM OR FOR HER. CAN YOU IMAGINE STRUGGLING TO OBEY GOD, AND AFTER THE OBEDIENCE, INSTEAD OF GOOD REWARD IMMEDIATELY, ALL YOU SEE OR RECEIVE, IS OPPOSITION AND PERSECUTION! CAN YOU IMAGINE SURFERING FROM AN ILNESS YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT CAME ON YOU, BUT INSTEAD OF SYMPATHY FROM SOMEONE, SOMEONE TURNS AROUND, CRITICISING YOU AND BLAMING YOU FOR CAUSING YOURSELF THE DISEASE! I ONCE WOKE UP ONE DAY, AND SAW MY FACE WITH SOME LIGHT PATCHES OF BURNS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD CLEAR UP SOON, BUT RATHER, IT GOT WORSE EVERYDAY. MY FAMILY AND A FEW FRIENDS WHO SINCERELY ASKED ME WHY MY FACE HAD CHANGED, AND I HAD SINCERELY TOLD THEM MY INNOCENCE, REALLY PITIED ME. EVEN WHEN I WAS A SINNER, I NEVER BLEACHED MY SKIN. MY PRAYERS DAILY FOR GOD TO RETURN MY FACE TO NORMAL, SEEMED TO YEILD NO FRUIT, FOR THE SITUATION WAS GETTING WORSE, YET, I HAD TO MANAGE IT THAT WAY, WHILST GOING ABOUT WORKING FOR GOD, EVEN IN THE CHURCH. I DIDN’T WANT SUCH A THING TO HINDER ME FROM SERVING GOD. TO MY SURPRISE ONE DAY, A CHURCH MEMBER SPOKE OUT THAT, A CHRISTIAN WOMAN SHOULD NOT BLEACH HER SKIN! I THEN REALISE WHY MANY DID NOT ASK ME ABOUT THE TERRIBLE CHANGE TO ME FACE. THE REASON WAS THAT, THEY ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER-I WAS BLEACHING! I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO STAND UP AND TESTIFY, SO AS TO BRING IN THAT ISSUE THAT I WAS NOT BLEACHING, SO THAT I COULD HELP CLEAR THE BAD IMAGINATION FROM THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE, LEST GOD SHOULD PUNISH THEM FOR THE FALSE ACUSATION. BUT GOD STOPPED ME FROM EXPLAINING MYSELF, EACH TIME THAT I WANTED TO DO SO. LATER, HE LET ME KNOW THAT, I HAD ALREADY DISPLAYED BEFORE THE CONGREGATION THAT I HAD BEEN WITH FOR OVER 20YEARS, THEN; GOD LET ME KNOW THE GOOD GOSPLE STANDARDS THAT I HAD ALREADY DISPLAYED, WHICH SHOULD HAVE HEKPED SOMEONE TO EMULATE, AND THIS TIME, CONVINCED THE PERSON TO BELIEVE THAT, WITH MY HIGH STANDARD IN THE GOSPEL, BLEACHING MY SKIN WOULD BE OUT OF QUESTION. MY PRAYER, AFTER HEARING THAT, WAS THAT, GOD SHOULD SEND ANYONE THAT WAS HAVING THAT BAD THOUGHT OF ME BLEACHING, TO COME AND ASK ME WHY MY FACE WAS LIKE THAT. I WAS WILLING TO EXPLAIN, SO THAT SATAN WOULD NOT PUT SOMEONE IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF WRONG THOUGHTS AGAINST ME. I LEARN EVERYDAY AS I TRAVEL TO THE KINGDOM WHERE THERE IS NO SIN. DURING THAT TIME, I LEARNED MORE OF MAKING SURE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD WAS ALL THAT MATTERS IN MY LIFE, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO SEES DEEP INTO THE INTENTS  OF THE HEARTS OF MEN/WOMEN. HE DIRECTS FOR PERFECT PURPOSES, HE GUIDES, HE PROTECTS, HE COMFORTS, LOVES, AND HE REWARDS EVERY GOOD DEED WITH GOOD THINGS.  BUT HE PUNISHES, IF MISTAKE IS MADE, JUST TO BRING HIS CHILD BACK ON TRACT. THAT IS THE GOD THAT I OWE ALL MY ALLEGEINCE, TRUST, HONOUR, PRAISE, AND LOVE IN THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!! HE IS MY COMFORT, WHEN I AM ACUSED OF THINGS I CANNOT IMAGINE MYSELF DOING, AS I FOCUS TO MAKE HEAVEN MY FINAL ETERNAL HOME, AT ALL COST!!!!

FINALLY, IT IS A MUST, A NECESITY, AS IT IS LAID UPON ME, THAT I CORRECT THE MISTAKE THAT I BELIEVE A TEACHER MADE YESTERDAY, DURING SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON. HE REPEATED THE SAME STATEMENT MORE THAN THREE TIMES. IF IT WERE JUST ONCE, I WOULD ONLY PRAY THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE HEARD IT; AND EVEN IF MANY HEARD, SOME WOULD THINK IT WAS ONLY A SLIP OF TONGUE. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, MIGHT BE, GOD WOULD NOT IMPRESS IT UPON MY HEART, TO CORRECT IT.

THE TEACHER SAID THAT, EVERYBODY WILL STAND BEFORE GOD, DURING THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT-THE THRONE OF THE JUDGEMET OF GOD(DURING THE WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT). THE TEACHER SAID IT WILL BE THERE THAT EVERYBODY WILL RECEIVE THE REWARD OF HIS OR HER WORKS WHILST ON EARTH. AS FAR AS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE IS, OVERCOMING SAINTS OF GOD, SHALL NOT APPEAR ON THAT JUDGEMENT SEAT OF GOD. EACH SAINT HAS ALREADY SENT UP HIS SINS TO BE JUDGED, AND THAT SAINT IS AQUITTED AND MADE FREE FROM SIN, WHILST HERE ON EARTH. HIS SINS ARE WASHED AWAY, AND HE OR SHE IS BLAMELESS BEFORE GOD, AS LONG AS HE OR SHE DOES NOT GO BACK INTO SIN. IF HE OR SHE DIES WITHOUT SIN, HE OR SHE GOES INTO THE PARADISE OF GOD, AWAITING THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS, INTO THE MARRIAGE SUPER OF THE LAMB. AT THE WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT, ALL SINNERS WILL APEAR THERE, AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CONDEMNED INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE, TO BURN THERE ETERNALLY. BECAUSE THE SOUL WILL STILL BE ALERT, THEREFORE THE FLESH WILL FEEL THE PUNISHMENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE SAINTS OF GOD SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOREVER, AFTER THE MARRIAGE SUPER, AND AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT OF GOD.

THE BIBLE, TALKES ABOUT JUDGMENT FOR THE SAINTS OF GOD. THAT JUDGEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE MILENIAL REIGN OF CHRIST, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, `WE SHALL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST`. I UNDERSTAND IT TO MEAN THAT, JESUS CHRIST, WILL BE THE JUDGE THEN-JUDGING THE SAINTS. IT IS THAT TIME THAT HE WILL GIVE OUT AUTHORITY TO THE SAINTS, TO RULE OVER ONE, OR TWO, OR MANY ANOTHER,NATIONS OF THE EARTH, BEFORE THE EARTH SHALL BE DESTROYED, EVEN THE HEAVEN,  WHERE THE FEET OF SINNERS HAD STOOD, WHILST THEY WERE RECEIVING THEIR FINAL DOOM. NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH, SHALL SUDDENLY EMERGED FOR THE SAINTS TO ENJOY ETERNALLY!!

I PRAY THE EXPLANATION ABOVE HELPS THAT LOCAL SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER OF YESTERDAY. I PRAY THE PERSON DOES NOT FEEL BAD OR ASHAMED FOR THE CORRECTION, KNOWING THAT, NO CHRISTIAN KNOWS IT ALL HERE ON EARTH. IT IS WHEN A CHRISTIAN MAKES IT TO HEAVEN FINALLY, BY GOD’S GRACE, THAT HE OR SHE WOULD KNOW BETTER, WITH JESUS BY HIS SIDE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION. CHURCH ATTENDANCES, ALL THROUGH YOUR LIFE ON EARTH, CAN NOT GIVE YOU THAT PRIVILAGE. IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, BOTH THE ONES WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE, AND ANY PERSONAL COMMANDMENT THAT GOD MAY FIND YOU QUALIFIED TO BE GIVEN, MAY BE BECAUSE YOU ARE SEEN BY HIM AS `SPECIAL` BELOVED CHILD OF HIS, SUCH OPPORTUNITY WILL GIVE YOU THE PRIVILAGE TO SEE JESUS CHRIST, FACE TO FACE, ONE DAY, AND WEAR A CROWN WITH SOME STARS ON IT.  KEEP IN MIND ALWAYS, THE ADVICE OF SOLOMON, `FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN`. THAT IS THE KEY TO `GOOD` SUCCESS HERE ON EARTH, AND AFTER HERE. THERE ARE MANY SUCCESSES ON EARTH, BUT A BIBLE CHRISTIAN LABOURS DAILY, FOR THAT `GOOD` SUCCESS.

BIBLE QUIZ FOR FOR 30/05/24.

This is our SECOND SERVICE for this week, following our promise, in Gratitude to God for Helping us to Locate our LOST QUESANSER FILE. We promise to SERVE THREE TIMES THIS WEEK, INSTEAD OF OUR USUAL `ONCE-IN-A-WEEK Practice. Tomorrow will bring our THIRD SERVICE for this week, and that will be the end. Since our Year’s Work Schedule for Month of May, only involes BIBLE QUIZ and QUESANSER, we have decided to Serve on BIBLE QUIZ, again, although we still have one for tomorrow(ANSWER TO THE ONE OF LAST WEEK).

For the fact that, the month of May ends this week, we are going to provide answers to the Quiz below, same time with the question too.

QUIZ QUESTIONS:

• 1) FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING AND BENEFITTING FROM OUR SERVICES, EITHER OFFICIALLY FROM OUR WEBSITE, OR FROM MANDU’S PRIVATE ARTICLES ON FACEBOOKS OR ON OTHER PLATEFORM:

HOW FAR HAVE THESE SERVICES IMPROVE YOUR SPIRITUAL STANDING AND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD NOW?

ANSWER 1)

IF ALL OUR SERVICES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS, SO THAT YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM THEM, SPIRITUALLY,IF YOU ARE STILL THE SAME IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, YOU ARE RUNNING VERY LATE, AND MAY SOON FALLINTO THE CATEGORY THAT OUR ANSWER TO QUESTION 2 BELOW HERE, TALKS ABOUT! SO, PLEASE PRAY URGENTLY FOR GOD TO BREAK THROUGH YOUR HEART, THAT YOUMAY BEGIN TO ABSORB THE NUTREINTS FOR THE NECESSARY GROWTH.

2} IF YOU STARTED HAVING ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES WHEN YOU WERE AN ATHIEST, NOT BELIEVING THAT GOD DOES EXIST, DO YOU NOW BELIEVE THAT GOD ALMIGHTY DOES EXIST, AND  THAT HIS ABODE IS IN HEAVEN?

ANSWER 2):

IF YOU ARE STILL IN THAT STAGE OF STILL NOT BELIEVING THAT THE IS A SUPREME BEING ABOVE, YOU ARE PROBABLY AMONG THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT; `THEY HAVE EYES, BUT CANNOT SEE, THEY HAVE EARS, BUT CANNOT HEAR; BECAUSE GOD HAS BLOCKED THEIR EARS, SO THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD; HE HAS MADE THEM BLIND, SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE WAY OF DANGER AND AVOID, BECAUSE GOD WANTED THEM TO PERISH`. Well, that may surprise you, why The Loving and Merciful God Could Do that! Yes, God Did that to those set of HARDENED SINNERS, because THEY ALREADY CHOSE TO REMAIN BLIND, AND DEAF TOWARDS THE MESSAGES OF GOD THAT GOD IN HIS LOVE, HAD BEENSENDING THEIR WAY, FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME, YET THEY REPENTED NOT, NOR  DESIRDE TO REPENT.  SO, GOD, SEEING THEY WOULD NEVER REPENT NOR CHANGE FOR THEIR GOOD, DID HELP THEM TO REMAIN UNCHANGED KNOWING THEY ARE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY TO PEDITION! PRAY THAT YOU DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES NOR YOUR EARS TO ALL THE SIGNS AND WONDERS THAT GOD IS DISPLAYING ON EARTH, TO PROOF HIS SUPREME EXISTENCE.

 

3) IF YOU HAD ALREADY BEEN A BELIEVER IN GOD, DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT THE BIBLE SAYS, INCLUDING THAT, THERE IS HEAVEN TO GO TO AND ENJOY AFTER THIS WORLD, AND THAT, THERE IS HELL TO GO TO AND TO SUFFER THERE FOREVER, IF ONE DEPARTS THIS WORLD STILL AS A SINNER?

ANSWER 3):

IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR EXISTENCE, TO BELIEVE THESE THINGS, AND ALL OTHER THINGS AS CONTAINED IN THE BIBLE, OTHERWISE, YOU RISK YOUR ETERNITY.

1. b) HAVE YOU THEN MADE YOURSELF READY TO LIVE IN THE BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN WITH GOD FOREVER, OR HAVE YOU UNWISELY SETTLED FOR HELL?

ANSWER B):

HOW CAN ANYONE PREPARE FOR SUFFERING AND AGONY THAT WILL NEVER END!  WITH CORRECT SENSES, NOTHING CAN FULLY PREPARE SOMEONE FOR THAT TRAGIC ENDING! SO, DO NOT BELITTLE YOURSELF FOR SATANTO DECIEVE YOU AND TRAP YOU TO SUCH LEVEL, NEVER!

4) THE BIBLE IS ALSO FULL OF RICH PROMISES FROM GOD, INCLUDING HEALING FOR SICK BODY, AND PROVISION FOR EVERY NEEDS. HOW MANY OF THESE PROMISES HAVE YOU ALREADY BENEFITED FROM?

ANSWER(4):

You CANNOT collect ALL the Blessings that are waiting for you, as are Told in the Bible, UNLESS YOU FULLY  BELIEVE THAT, THOSE RICH PROMISES AND BLESSINGS, ARE FOR YOU TOO. You CANNOT collect ALL the Blessings that are due for you to collect, through The Mercy of God, and because of THE BLOOD OF JESUS; you cannot collect them all, if you DO NOT ASK for those Blessings. IT MEANS THEREFORE THAT, YOU MUST PRAY TO GOD AND TELL HIM ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT, THEN HUMBLY BEGG HIM TO GIVE IT TO YOU. HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT, BUT HE WANTS YOU TO PAY A LITTLE PRICE TO OBTAIN IT, AND THEN OBTAIN YOUR HEART’S DESIRE. BUT IMAGINE HOW EASY AND SMALL, THE PRICE HE WANTS YOU TO PAY, IS-A SIMPLE TRUST IN HIS POWER TO PROVIDE, AND JUST A LITTLE TALK OR SOMETIMES, AGONIZING TALK (DEPENDING ON THE ISSUE YOU PRESENT TO HIM FOR SOLUTION) WITH  HIM, COMPARED TO THE AGONY THAT JESUS WENT THROUGH ON THE CROSS, TO PAVE THE WAY FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS, ESPECIALLY YOUR SIN-FORGIVENESS!! However, He Loves you so much that, He Will not Give you the desire of your heart that could bring you into a WORSE SITUATION THAN YOU WERE. But whatsoever He Brings to you as the result of your request to Him, He Can Bring you SATISFIED  HEART TOO, TO ENJOY AND BE HAPPY WITH CONTENTED IN, FOR WHAT HE OFFERS YOU. So, if you are not satisfied with what God Gives you NOW, PRAY  FOR THE SATISFACTION AND HAPPINESS, TOWARDS ALL WHAT GOD GIVES TO YOU AT HAND.  

BIBLE QUIZ FOR 24/05/24.

READING PORTION: EXODUS 23:1-11(KJV). We arenot sure if this is where we stopped during our usual Bible Quiz sequences. But we can continue from here, next time.

1) SUMMARISE THE WHOLE VERSES INTO JUST TWO HEADINGS.

2) BRING OUT AND EXPLAIN THE MOST EDIFYING POINTS, WHICH YOU THINK CAN CHANGE THE WORLD OF TODAY, FOR BETTER.

We hope to provide our answers for the questions above, by Friday next week. Keep your answers to compare with ours, then.

ANSWER TO THE BIBLE QUIZ ABOVE-24/05/24.

QUESTION 1:

SUMMARY FOR THE BIBLE READING PORTION A) JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY WITHOUT HYPOCRISY. 

B) DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE DONE TO YOU, AND WITH REGARD TO THE POOR.

QUESTION 2:

DEAD-CONSCIENCE: Many today, are SELF-LOVERS, that means that, they can do anything to make themselves comfortable, regardless of the impact that their action can bring to another person, their home, family, community, church, the country, or even the world at large! They would not mind any bad or worst consequence to others, provided they SATISFY THEIR DESIRE AND REACH THE GOAL THEY SET FOR THEMSELVES. But imagine, if every living human being would FEAR THE ANGER OF GOD, AND DO TO OTHERS, WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE OTHERS TO DO TO THEM!

JUSTICE: Often, justice is lost, when someone or group of people judges a situation or another person, especially SOMEONE THEY HATE. A leader of an organization was brought into a case to pass judgement between a couple that he TRULY KNEW that, they had been RIGHTFULL(BEFORE GOD AND MAN) MARRIED for over 20years. This leader had witnessed the marriage flourished, as much as a marriage could, and had even turned out to be one of the happiest marriages around him. But years after, and suddenly, when the leader needed some points to support his selfish goal someday, he CLEARLY DENIED that HE EVER KNEW THE COULPLE WERE IN THE RIGHT MARRIAGE!!!! He as the leader, could have been the immediate human witness around this couple at this time, and he could have been the right person to REBUKE the man who was also like this leader himself; both looking for some points to carry out their individual evil desires and plans. But unfortunately, even the leader, joined hand with his devilish friend, to bring the innocent woman into contempt!  Our reading portion above, condemns INJUSTICE, SELFISHNESS, VICTIMIZATION AND FALSE WITNESS.

TAKING A STAND FOR RIGHT: People today like to GO WITH THE CROWD, even iwhen they know that, the CROWD IS HEADING THE WRONG WAY. Many peolple do not like to be seen as being `ODD`, even if they know that they are being isolated for the GOOD, RESPECTABLE AND HONEST CAUSES THAT PLEASE GOD, AND SEEN AS GOOD TO DO, WHICH THEY ARE DOING, ALONG WITH JUST A SMALL SECTION OF THE WORLD WHO ARE MANNERED AS HIM OR AS HER. Among the youth, they could face peer-pressure sometimes, because of being alone, practising GOOD MORALITY, against the choices of his or her other youths. There are some testimonies, especially from someone around us at HIM. The person used to testify that, he used to be mocked  at in his school, because of his firm stand for Biblical Standards. But he used to conclude that testimony with comparing his life at the present, and as a family man now, with the life of his former school mates who used to riducle him; and would say that, none of them reached the level that God had Placed him in life.. For anybody who TAKES A FIRM AND BOLD STAND TO DO WHATEVER HE OR SHE KNOWS THAT IS GOOD AND REPUTABLE TO DO IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS ALWAYS A BLESSING//BLESSINGS FOR SUCH PERSON, FROM GOD. The beginning may be rough for the person, but sooner or later, THE REWARD WILL COME TO THE PERSON HERE, OR AFTER HERE, OR AT BOTH WORLDS. GOD TAKES NOTICE OF EVERY SINCERE STRUGGLE  OF ANYBODY, TO DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT, BRINGING PLEASURE TO GOD, AND DECENCY TO THIS WORLD.

 

BIBLE QUIZ FOR 06/05/24.

THE BIBLE READING PORTION BELOW, WAS MY ROUTINE DAILY BIBLE READING, WHICH I DO ONE CHAPTER EVERYDAY, IN A SEQUENTIAL MANNER; FOR EXAMPLE, YESTERDAY WAS EZEKIEL CHAPTER 8. TODAY CHAPTER 9, AND TOMORROW WILL BE CHAPTER 10 ETC. SINCE WE WERE TO SERVE ON BIBLE QUIZ STILL, I FELT, AS THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU, THAT I SHOULD SHARE MY PERSONAL BIBLE  READING WITH YOU HERE.

READING PORTION-EZEKIEL 9:4-11(KING JAMES VERSION).

QUESTION 1.

AFTER GOING THROUGH THE READING PORTION, WHAT CATEGORY OF PEOPLE WAS GOD ADDRESSING HERE, THROUGH  EZEKIEL? 

QUESTION 2.

GOD IS A GOD OF MERCY, AND DOES FORGIVE ANYONE WHO REPENTS GENUINELY OF HIS OR OF HER SINS/MISTAKES. WHY DID GOD SAY HE WOULD NOT FORGIVE THIS SET OF PEOPLE, EVEN IF THEY REPENTED, IN THIS CHAPTER?

B) A FEW AMONG THIS PEOPLE, WOULD NOT RECIEVE THE PUNISHMENT THAT GOD PLANNED TO SEND TO THIS SET OF PEOPLE. WHY WOULD THIS FEW AMONG THEM. ESCAPE THE NATIONAL PUNISHMENT FROM GOD; AND WHAT LESSON DOES THIS TEACH TODAY?

QUESTION 3.

EZEKIEL WAS ONLY A MESSENGER OF GOD TO THIS SET OF PEOPLE, IS THERE SOMETHING HE COULD HAVE DONE TO CHANGE THE MIND OF GOD , AND THEREFORE CAUSE GOD TO FORGIVE THIS PEOPLE?

 

AS THE NATURE OF OUR BIBLE QUIZ IS, WE NORMALLY PROVIDE ANSWERS AFTER QUESTIONS-TWO WEEKS AFTER THE QUESTIONS. BUT SINCE WE DO NOT TAKE THE USUAL PATTERN THIS TIME, FOR THE QUESTIONS ABOVE, WE WILL POST ANSWERS FOR THE ABOVE QUESTIONS, NEXT WEEK MONDAY. THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPARE YOUR ANSWERS WITH OURS. PLEASE WRITE DOWN YOUR ANSWERS, SO YOU WONT FORGET.

QUIZ ANSWER FOR THE BIBLE QUIZ ABOVE-EZEKIEL 9:4-11:

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1.

God was Speaking to the children of Israel, His Own people. They were in a BACKSLIDING STAGE, at this time.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2.

The previous chapters of Ezekiel, and the previous Book-Jeremiah, Record SEVERAL MESSAGES that God Sent to this people-the children of Israel, PLEADING WITH THEM TO REPENT, AND WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD ALONE. But they refused to repent, rather, CONTINUED TO WORSHIP THEIR IDOLS. The Prophets of God WARNED THEM, AND TOLD THEM CLEARLY WHAT WOULD BE THEIR PUNISHMENT FROM GOD, YET THEY BELIEVE IT NOT. So, they left God with no option, but to BRING to them BEFORE THEIR EYES, the FULFILMENT of God's Word and the Punishment, which they believed not. They only BELIEVED, WHEN THEY SAW THE PUNISHMENT FULFILED. The lesson everyone in this present world can take from this, is that, THERE IS A LIMIT THAT MAN CAN REJECT GOD'S MERCY, AND STILL RECIVE MERCY. God is Merciful, and Ready to Forgive any sinner, his or her sins, no matter how terrible are such sins. The Spirit of God is Continually Pleading with sinners to repent, and Clearly Declares that, THERE IS WAGES FOR SIN. But it is only God Who Knows when a sinner CROSSES THE BORDER-LINE FOR FORGIVENESS. To add to that, THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS IN THE GRAVE. A sinner who dies in his sin, has no alternative DESTINATION, BUT TO GO TO THE LAKE OF FIRE, AND BE TORMENTED THERE, FOREVER. The Bible Says that, `if you would hear His Voice, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART`; `TODAY, IS THE DAY OF SALVATION, TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE`.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2B.

God is a FAITHFUL GOD, AND JUDGES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS TOO. He was to POUR out His Fury upon the `REBELLIOUS` children of Israel. But our Reading Portion above, Mentioned that, there were a few people who were SAD BECAUSE OF THE MAJORITY WHO REFUSED TO OBEY GOD, AND TURNED FROM THEIR IDOL WORSHIP. These few people were in constant weeping, because of the sins of the majority, and God's Promise to Punish the whole Nation. But God Took Note of these few people, who were not like the rest of them. So, God Told Ezekiel what to do to them, so that when the judgement(THE SWORD) would come to claim some of the people, THE FEW WOULD BE SAVED! So it is today, when God's earthly Judgement Falls on a FAMILY, A COMMUNITY, A GROUP OF PEOPLE, OR TO THE WHOLE WORLD, THE INNOCENT WOULD SUFFER THE LEAST, OR NOT AT ALL! The whole City of AI, in the Bible, was DESTROYED BECAUSE OF SIN, BUT RAHAB, AND HER FAMILY, WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WERE SAVED; BECAUSE THEY FEARED THE GOD OF ISRAEL, AND DESIRED TO GO WITH THEM AND WORSHIP THEIR TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH! Also, TWO CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMERAH WERE TOTALLY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF HOMOSEXUALITY PRACTICES; BUT ONLY LOT AND HIS FAMILY, WENT OUT OF THE CITY, ALIVE(the wife disobeyed The last Instruction of God, that Lot and the family should flee out from the city, and LOOKED NOT BACK TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CITY. BUT AS THEY FLEE OUT, LOT'S WIFE TURNED HER EYES AND LOOKED BACK. SHE TURNED INTO THE `PILAR OF SALT`-DIED). So it is today, even in a family, some may be saved or Blessed abundantly by God, whilst some may be lower beneath. God Gives out liberally to everyone on earth, out of His Mercy, but HIS EYES ARE ON THE SPARROW-SPECIALLY ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, AND PARTICULARLY ON THOSE WHO FEAR AND OBEY HIM!! ADDITION TODAY(15/05/24): Please see Ezekiel14:13-20. I came across these verses when I was going through my daily Bible Exercise this morning. Use it to support the points I make above.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 3.

Ezekiel, was only a Messenger of God, and he actually suffered quite a lot in the hand of his people, because he brought The Word of God to them. They did not like to hear the evil that Ezekiel prophsised to them. They imprisoned Jeremiah, the Prophet of God, because of prophesying the same evil to them. These Prophets were only OBEYING GOD, AND TOOK THE WORD OF GOD TO THEM. One time, they put Jeremiah in prison and other evils, they did to him, FOR OBEYING GOD, AND FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH. Ezekiel could have PRAYED FOR THIS PEOPLE, just as human being, playing his part. BUT IF GOD HAD DETERMINED TO PUNISH THIS STIFF-NAKED AND REBELLIOUS SET OF PEOPLE(THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL), THEN NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER, WOULD HAVE CHANGED GOD'S PLAN TO PUNISH THEM. So it is today, PRAYER WORKS, AND IT IS GOOD FOR CHRISTIANS OR ANYBODY, TO PTAY FOR PEOPLE AND THE WORLD. PRAYER CAN CHANGE THE MIND OF GOD, AND INSTEAD OF PUNISHING AS HE HAS PLANNED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF PEOPLE, OR NATION; HE CAN FORGIVE AND BLESS THE PEOPLE instead. He Changed His Plan to Destroy the City of Niniveh, BUT He ONLY CHANGED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE, BEGINNING FROM THE KING, REPENTED OF THEIR SINS, WHEN THEY HEARD THE PLAN OF GOD TO DESTROY THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS, THROUGH JONAH. So, sometimes, THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER THAT CAN CHANGE WHAT GOD HAS DETERMINED TO DO TO AN INDIVIDUAL, OR TO A GROUP. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT INSIST IN DOING EVIL,, CONTINUALLY.

Before you can benefit a lot, or benefit in full from the Services that we offer, be it our regular ON-LINE Services or our outdoor Services, YOUR HEART HAS TO BE RIGHT WITH US. If there is anger or hatred in your heart for any of us, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU(Eka Uyom), you may never be SATISFIED with anything we do. Even our best Service, may not make you happy, therefore, you may not concentrate in the Service, absorb it with the Meaning Portrayed, and ponder on the Meaning to make a CHANGE in your heart, or in your soul. We now ask you these important questions below:

1) IS THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU, SOMEONE YOU LIKE, AND CAN PRAY FOR HER AND FOR THE WORK OF GOD IN HER HAND TO PROSPER?

2) IF SHE IS NOT SOMEONE YOU LIKE, AND CAN COUNT IN AMONG THOSE YOU WISH WELL IN LIFE, WHAT IS, OR WHAT ARE THE REASONS? 

BEFORE YOU CAN ANSWER THE LAST QUESTION ACURATELY, ARE YOU A PERSON WITH GOOD MORALES IN THE SOCIETY THAT YOU LIVE, OR IS THERE ANY OUTSTANDING AND CONTROVERSIAL PART OF YOUR LIFE THAT IS NOT POPULARLY COMMENDABLE BY PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

4) EVEN IF EVERYBODY AROUND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE LIFE-STYLE THAT YOU LIVE, IS GOD, YOUR CREATOR, HAPPY WITH YOU TOO?

5) IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE ANSWER TO THE LAST QUESTION, IS YOUR CONSCIENCE A `LIVING` ONE, OR NOTHING REALLY CONDEMNS YOUR CONSCIENCE, EVEN IF YOU KILL AN INNOCENT PERSON, OR TAKE AWAY THE LITTLE THAT A POOR PERSON HAS, TO ADD TO THE MUCH THAT YOU HAVE?

6) CAN YOU HUMBLE YOUR HEART FOR JUST TWENTY MINUTES, KNEEL DOWN, AND TELL GOD, `PLEASE SEARCH ME, AND TELL ME WHO AM REALLY ARE`?

7) IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO REALLY YOU ARE, AND WHETHER YOUR LIFE/LIFE-TYLE IS PLEASING TO GOD, GOD WILL REVEAL ATLEAST A LITTLE, OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN YOUR LIFE, AND IF YOU BELIEVE HIM, CAN YOU GO A LITTLE DEEPER IN YOUR HUMILITY, AND BEG HIM TO FORGIVE YOU, BUT CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR BETTER?

The above are all the questions we believe you need ANSWERS to, before you can continue to hate Eka Uyom/Mandu, or begin to like her. If your answers are from God, but you continue to hate her, you WILL BE TROUBLING YOUR HOUSE AND YOURSELF NOW, AND YOUR FUTURE LIFE TOO. Nobody likes TROUBLE, so, if you have not yet got into trouble for HATING AND FOR FIGHTING TO KILL MANDU, praise God for that, but HURRY, TO END YOUR FIGHT AGAINST MANDU BEFORE YOU REGRET IT FOR LIFE. LEAVE HER FOR THE GOD WHO SEES THROUGH THE HEART OF MAN, TO JUDGE HER, ACCORDING TO WHO SHE IS(if that is His Desire), else, she may depart for a BETTER/BEST LIFE, whilst you remain for a short time, and SUFFER ALL THROUGH THAT SHORT TIME ON EARTH, AND IF YOU DONT STILL REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND PREPARE FOR HEAVEN, YOU DEPART ALSO INTO AN EVERLASTING SORROW IN THE LAKE OF FIRE! I believe that is NOT WHAT A SENSIBLE PERSON WOULD PLAN FOR, AND I SINCERELY PRAY YOU RECEIVE NEITHER OF THESE HERE, NOR AFTER HERE. AMEN!
